At various subway stations in Korea, they often they are decorated at different times of the year with school art projects. Fire safety, future jobs, home life, technology, and so on. The theme of this one appears to be “Fuck Japan!” [Link]

A blog dedicated to tattoos! I have been wanting to get a full arm (from wrist to shoulders) tattoo forever but I just can’t afford it. When I went to New York I about a tiny tattoo and it was going to cost me $150 so a full arm tattoo would mean I would to get a loan from the bank.. [Link]

I just noticed CNN did some minor redesigns to their main page. If you also notice the site’s logo also has a “With Free Video” label attached to it. Seems most of the redesign is to include the free video links which is cool since there are many times I would rather watch the newstory then to read it.

I found this link via Boing Boing, Bruce Sterling made his students write on a whiteboard stuff they should never say to a teacher during design critiques. Now other then the fact the stuff they wrote was hillarious, I was very surprised that Bruce Sterling actually blogs. [Link]

Is THIS the Marina FM logo? There was a huge pitch for it by like every agency in Kuwait plus one from Bahrain. I sent in 3 logos and 2 of them made the final cut but in the end another agency won, I think it was Memec. But I was expecting the winning logo to be something really cool, this one is just sad (no offence to the designer). [Link]

This site makes me really jealous. They have a contest where they try to find the “smallest, coolest apartments”. Some of the stuff is really good and it depresses me to see them do so much with such little space while I can’t figure out what to do with my huge place. I am terrible when it comes to interior design, I should probably just steal some ideas from them and get it over with… [Link]

A former Nazi graphic designer is suing Volkswagen, seeking credit for helping to design their famous logo. Nikolai Borg, 86, who now lives in Austria, says he has paperwork that can prove his involvement in the development of the VW logo 65 years ago. He doesn’t want any cash, says his lawyer—he just wants to live to see his work acknowledged. Volkswagen denies that Borg was involved in the design.

DC Comics launched a new updated logo earlier this month. I personally don’t like it, its too swooshy for my tastes. The old logo was a classic and I think it could have lived on for many more years. Now I personally haven’t picked up and read a comic in years so I don’t know if my opinion counts (I might be too old) but I still think the new logo is soulless. The old logo was designed by Milton Glaser over 25 years ago and the new logo was design by Josh Beatman of Brainchild Studio. It will be showing up on all their comics starting June.
